I have a 2001 neon how do i clean the plastic headlights to come clear they r foggy any home remedies??

foggy? if you mean yellowed from the sun, there is nothing you can do but replace them. if your problem is a watery mist on the inside, the headlights are not sealed. if they are scratched, get a cheap power polisher($15-20) and some polishing compound. NOT WAX get the pasty stuff. you might have to get some heavy grid compound for depper scratches and finish of with less agressive compound. i find the ';turtle wax'; with the green labeled can for the final polishing and the one with the red label for depper scratches work the best. with some time you can make them look like new. you can also try some 1600 grit wet sandpaper as the first step for very heavy scratches. good luckI have a 2001 neon how do i clean the plastic headlights to come clear they r foggy any home remedies??
you can buy a polish for plastic at the parts store. a good home remedy that works is toothpaste and water applied and polished with a nylon stocking. your lights are foggy because they're scratched from the road grime. wash well, then use the toothpaste to polish out the scratches.I have a 2001 neon how do i clean the plastic headlights to come clear they r foggy any home remedies??
People will give you 1000 different ways, the best way is to go get new head lights.


I get them from a company called Certifit, they are way less expensive than the dealer, OW I just checked a 2001 Neon are 95 bucks a piece. OK the next cure I would use is this site. I have heard from my mechanics that this stuff works. I will ask them to show me tomorrow....
nothing you can really do but to replace the headlights. headlights are usually encased and not designed to be tampered with. it shouldn't be that difficult or expensive. best to call the parts department of your local chrysler dealership.
most of the time there is no fix for that except replace them but you can go to your local parts store they sell products that work somewhat but nothing will get it perfect sorry
Do a search on flame polishing (using a blowtorch).
